Here are a few pictures from some of the things we did this last month with you. The first picture is of you and Dad at the Soul Food Festival. The next few pictures are of us at Jake and Jessica's wedding. Dad and I were both in the wedding so we figured it was a good photo op with you. The last two were just a few pics I took of you because I thought you were looking so adorable. The first was you in your "big boy jammies". I couldn't handle how adorable but also how big you looked in them! The last one is of you trying to crawl. You are so close!

6 Month Appointment Stats
You had your six month appointment on the 16th and you are still growing like crazy! The doctor complimented you on what a happy baby you are, saying that "there aren't a ton of happy kids at 6 months." He was also VERY impressed with your sitting up skills saying that there also aren't too many 6 month olds that can sit as well as you can. I do believe this too since I have seen the other babies at the daycare. You are a star!
Your stats for the appointment...
19 lbs 10 oz 85th percentile
27 1/4 in 80th percentile

A Memory To Never Forget
You have been doing a better job at sleeping at night. Although you still wake up at night, I am trying to wean you off of eating at night as well as us putting you back to sleep. Last night though was one for the books. You had your 6 month doctor's appointment yesterday (more on this later) and so you got your shots. As a result you slept for a LONG time last night. You went to bed at 8 and then didn't wake up until almost 5. Needless to say, I knew you were hungry since you had gone almost 9 hours without eating. So, I decided to nurse you.
As I sat in the rocking chair nursing you I realized I needed to cherish the moment because these moments are rapidly coming to a close. Before I know it your night feedings and wakings will be all over. The song "It Won't Be Like This For Long" by Darius Rucker came into my head. I sat and looked at your sweet face while you nursed and then stopped feeding. You were sleeping and were cooing ever so softly. I sat smiling at you and staring loving into your face soaking up the moment.
Then reality hit...
You proceeded to puke all over me. On my face (luckily my mouth was closed), in my hair, and all over my nursing bra. You looked up at me for a split second, then closed your eyes and nuzzled back up on my shoulder and went to sleep. As I sat there I couldn't do anything but just smile and laugh to myself. I sat there and rocked you for a bit before deciding to put you to bed and clean up. This son, will be a moment I won't likely forget.

Another Camping Trip
We took you camping again. You rocked it like last time. Unfortunately due to fires being all over the state we had to go to Oregon and the camping spot wasn't that nice, but we still had fun. I didn't go as hog wild with the camera this time taking pics of you but I did still take some.
The highlight of the trip was watching you drink water out of a cup (I will post a video of this) and all of the deer that wondered around the campground.

I Love...
I love that I can pick you up when you wake up in a foreign place and the second that I do you curl up into me and fall right back asleep.
I love that your eyes and smile light up the second you see me after I have been gone away from you for anywhere from just a few short minutes to hours.
I love the way you grab my face as if trying to explore it and mimic showing me the affection that I show you when I gently rub your cheek.
I love that I think you are trying to say 'mama' by calling out 'mmmmm' while looking at me when you want my attention and want me to pick you up.
I love that you reach your arms out to go to me when I am nearby.
I love everything about you....

Puppy Love
You love your beagle Bailey. She loves you too, but more so when she just gets to lick you and don't try to come after her. You two are so adorable though, she makes you smile. I have a feeling the two of you are going to become best buds, especially when you start dropping food for her!
